[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 143547, member: 820"] I guess it´s fine if you´re really into aged tobacco and price is no object. I don´t buy tobacco there, only estate pipes. Even if you get it for a resonable price the shipping is the coup de grace. I prefer to just buy a lot from etailers so that the shipping hurts less. A lot of places offer free shipping over a certain amount too. Somewhere around $100. Besides, store bought new tobacco ages pretty nicely at home, not just on ebay. Like on the other thread, it could be problematic that currently available products are being auctioned there. I´m not up on the specifics but I do think that using ebay as a loophole probably will negatively affect us all. Much like the RYO cigarette tobacco being marketed as pipe tobacco by etailers. It makes sense to avoid taxation by vendors, but until there is some legal definition of the difference between the two it´s just interpretation. ALL of it is fair game for tax hikes then. [/QUOTE]
